Passwords and security on Grass Valley systems
To provide a basic level of security, Grass Valley systems recognize three different security levels based on Windows users and groups, and the systems ship from the factory with accounts pre-configured accordingly. To access the system you must log on with the user name and password for one of the pre-configured accounts.
The following table shows the different types of users and their privileges.
